Friday — The Best Day on Which the Sun Has Risen
"The best day on which the sun has risen is Al Jummah (Friday). On it Adam was created, on it he entered Paradise, on it he was expelled from it, and the Hour will not be established except on Friday."
Every Friday contains one hour in which Allah answers every dua made with a sincere heart.
Reading Surah Al-Kahf on Friday brings a light that shines between the two Fridays.
Send blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ abundantly on Friday — they are presented to him directly.
